However, the compensation cannot make up for what he needs the most, such as salt, which needs to be used as a bargaining chip in the next stage of the trade. If it’s given to him now, its rigid demand will drop.

So, being a merchant actually involves numerous tactics.

…

A few hours later, Silver coin leaves the relay tower, mounts a bone horse and trots away. Ten kilometers away, he rides into a ditch on his bone horse.

At this moment, there are a bunch of things crouching in the ditch, including humans, dragons, skeleton zombies, angels, and unicorns.

Upon seeing Silver coin return, Negris was the first to ask: “How did it go?”

“Done, relay tower number four is ours now, we’ve already reported it, and they’re just waiting for the handover. That guy who was cursing Lord Ange, he can’t wait to leave the relay tower, and he’s urging us to come over and take over.” Silver coin said excitedly.

Negris was somewhat skeptical: “Just like that?”

Silver coin nodded: “If you find the right direction, it’s that simple. We have no clue about the situation, so we think it’s difficult. But according to Clariant, it’s not difficult at all, as there are few people who can handle staying at the relay station, they change every few decades, and now there’s a guy who doesn’t want to do this anymore, and we can take over with just a report.”

Negris couldn’t help asking out of curiosity: “How did you think to tackle this from the No. 3 Relay Tower side?”

Silver coin asked in confusion: “Isn’t this basic operation? He has needs, and we approach from these needs, turning it into him needing something from us. If he has no needs, we can always create needs for him.”

“Makes sense, let’s go and take over, I wonder what kind of guy that nag is.”

…

In the wilderness, two bone horses are pulling a carriage at full speed before it suddenly stops. An Undead floats out, identifies the direction, and goes back to the carriage: “The No. 4 Relay Station will be reached soon.”

In the carriage burns a brazier, the flames of which form the face of a demon. If Ange were here, he would certainly recognize this demon as the Lord of Terror who had once launched a plague of bugs in the Black Mountain Kingdom.

“Perfect timing, our terrifying ghost just took form, and it needs a powerful soul to parasitize. There’s nothing more suitable than the Relay Spirit on the relay tower. Take advantage of the turnover time of this relay tower, let’s seize its Relay Spirit. Even the Great Sage, would not be able to figure out who took the Relay Spirit,” the Lord of Terror said.

The Undead hesitated, and said: “Are you sure? All Relay Spirits are connected, they are essentially souls and belong to Harvey’s people. If we mess with the Relay Spirit, won’t Harvey find out? If he projects his will over here, I’ll die a horrible death.”

Lord of Terror said, “That’s why we need to take advantage while they’re handing it over. There’s a brief period during the transfer when the Relay Spirit will be dormant. During that time, no one can control it.”

“Really? How come you, a demon, understand these things better than me, an Undead?” asked the Undead with skepticism.

“If you’re willing to exchange your soul, I’ll tell you,” the demon said with a tempting tone.

The Undead laughed in a cold and sinister way.

The carriage got back on the road and rushed to the No. 4 Relay Tower.

In another direction, Luther and Shamara looked at each other, watching the lightning in front of them, burdened with five things. Even Big Cat was lying on Lightning’s head, hugging the unicorn horn.

Their destination was also the No. 4 Relay Tower. At this pace, they might meet Lord of Terror at the base of the tower.
